Brass float?s

Well now that my carbs are working well again, I need to replace a few parts
I
borrowed from Teddy. Any one have any experience with fixing brass floats?
Mine was half full of gas when we pulled it out. The two spares I had didn't
look too good either ( something else to blame on the PO! <grin> ) so I have
three of them to repair. Or would I be better off buying new ones?
